The three-year SignON project has now finished! The entire SignON consortium would like to thank everyone for their contributions to our project and our co-creation events. In the video below, you will find some consortium members extending heartfelt THANK YOU signs.
After three years of hard work behind the scenes on our SignON application and service, we have gained better insights into the technical challenges. Our scientific leader, Dr. Dimitar Shterionov, explains in an interview what these challenges are: vimeo.com/896212953

Thanks to @FrankiePicron from @EUD_Brussels for closing today's event, and to all of the presenters for sharing their knowledge, expertise, and perspectives on the future of sign language technology and research. We will share a summary of the event soon.
👉 Davy Van Landuyt, EUD Project Officer, dives into the crucial topic of user engagement in Sign Language Technology. Empowering Deaf individuals through technology! #EASIERSignON
'The data bottleneck in sign language research is often reduced to “there is not enough data” but the situation is a lot more nuanced than that' - Caro Brosens (@VGTCentrum) explains the challenges with sign language data.
Krishna Chandramouli, WG3 Leader of @COST_CA19142 stressed how the persistence to keep investing and the belief that inclusive technology needs to improve can be a major driving force to keep pursuing a path leading to a better society.
@SignONEU@EU_Commission@EUD_Brussels
The EU Council took an important step by adopting its general approach. However, the general approach does not refer to specific requirements and inclusive measures for deaf people as EUD had hoped for.

SignON's Scientific Coordinator @DShterionov explains the different steps and technologies involved in automatically translating between sign languages and spoken/written languages - the Sign Language Machine Translation (SLMT) pipeline.
"Avatars will not replace humans, they offer an alternative option. And we need more options. This is at the heart of the co-creation process"
